Episode Details

You’ve been told to follow certain “expert-approved” holiday tips so that you don’t eat everything in sight… but here’s the truth: 4 of these popular rules actually make you overeat this time of year.

After 40+ years of my own emotional eating, and after helping several hundred women conquer binge eating using strategies I learned while working as the Chief of Staff for FBI Counterintelligence — yes, really — I can tell you this: your holiday binges are triggered by advice that flat-out makes the overeating worse.

So today, I’m going to break down the four holiday tips you should never follow, and more importantly, the five psychology-based strategies that actually keep you in control around food, even at parties or family gatherings.

If you want a holiday season without feeling gross and spiraling into regret, this episode is for you. 

Together, we will investigate:

• Why the most popular holiday eating tips backfire, and the 5 counterintuitive psychology-based plan you can implement that actually quiet the cravings and food noise.
• The four expert-approved strategies that actually cause you to eat more at the holiday parties and gatherings. 
• The hidden danger on the crudite board. 
• The one macronutrient mistake almost every woman makes during holiday meals (fix this and cravings drop 30–50%).
• The surprising dessert swap that satisfies your sweet tooth without triggering the binge brain (can you guess which dessert made the list?).
• How to build a holiday eating game plan that lets you enjoy festive food without the regret, shame, or starting over in January.
